As a null sec resident, and a former resident on wormhole space, I believe changes to POSes will affect a large portion of the community whether they acknowledge these effects or not. Changes to POSes do not only affect their managers. If life is easier for the managers life is easier for everyone with access to that POS.
- Members of high security space looking to move out of high security space will have one less hurdle to move out. While some hurdles are good, this one is created entirely by broken game mechanics and overly complicated interfaces and roles. This is not the kind of hurdle Eve Online needs. I'd rather see skill (not necessarily SP), and locals be the hurdles they have to face.
- Members of high security space not looking to move out of high security space will have more ease in placing POSes in 0.5-0.7 space. This has a wide variety of implications including industrial and PvP incentives.
- Low security residents often use POSes as safe-spots since they are much less camp-able than stations. Although I feel low sec will actually be the least affected by such a change. (Note: this is also the least inhabited area of space and is truly the "small portion of the community".
- WHS dwelling pilots need not be mentioned as the impact such changes would have on them exceed all others.
- Sovereign Null pilots use POSes every single day. They use them as jump bridges, hiding spots, formup spots, places to store giant things they pretend don't exist on voice comms and places to conga line in peace.
- NPC Null pilots use POSes for everything mentioned in Sovereign Null except jump bridges with extra emphasis on conga lines.

Two step wrote: Respectfully (because you are a giant and can crush me), I think you misinterpreted my post.
What I said was: 1) CCP has decided to not do modular POSes all at once 2) CCP has not decided what they will be working on this Summer 3) CCP did say that modular POSes would matter for only a small population of players
What I am trying to do with my blog post and this thread is demonstrate to CCP that #3 is wrong, and that POSes should be a part of the summer expansion (#2).
I second Two Step here. In my prior post I simply tried to outline the number of people POSes (and their current mechanics) affect. As someone who has worked with Software Engineers, I do not expect an overnight miracle. The POS system in its current form is cumbersome and intimidating to new POS managers. Even a UI rework and some security to the existing modules this summer would be greatly appreciated. |

At about 1.5 responses per minute (on average) I think CCP realized we were all in (using) a POS waiting for Two step to light the cyno to bridge. |
